    Better question.. "I’ve spent years being friends with Bernice…. Why? "

    .

    So is Luann now going to give up on her being a writer dream??

    hy did she record all of this? Because it’s good to vent. But as with all venting it does no good to listen to it later.

    So this story arc is going to end with Luann doing nothing. Typical.

    Jeered, Lu.

    Your wasn’t always a “barrel of laffs.”

    Why don’t you also write about the time you were trapped in a deep ravine with a twisted ankle, but Gunther carried you out on his back?

    Or the time that you wowed audiences during a performance of Westside Story?

    Or the time you dated that creepy Elwood so your “friend” Delta could go to DC to meet the President?

    Or the time you met Clay Aiken?

    Luann is a snippet writer, not a story writer. I believe that there is still a Reader’s Digest magazine and it had little snippets of humor sent in by the readers. They are like cartoons without the drawings. Ideal start for Luann.

    Still disappointed that there is no connection between this arc, and the one in which Luann was writing a diary for a student she was ‘counseling’, who was assigned to create a diary for a famous artist. Luann did a decent job with THAT writing…

    Poor Luann, too many years have passed and she’s no longer able to understand her feelings as a young teen and how comforting it must have used to be for her to record her diary daily to let off steam. I love how she fast-forward the recording and how dramatic the last panel is. Luann alone facing her early adolescence full of embarrassing problems and feeling really down. I hope she will be able to get out of this moment of depression and come out with the decision to change her life.

    Can we move on to a new arc? I’m glad we actually have Luann as the center of the arc, but, really? All we’re seeing is how boring her life was, and we already know that.

    Could it be that Luann is actually looking back on her life and realizing how miserable she truly is? She was hardly ever in a good mood back in the 80s and 90s, always complaining about the many burdens of her life and now she can’t seem to climb up the ladder of success.

    Why? I wrote diaries thinking that some day I would have children, and that I could understand them better if I looked back on my own feelings when I was their age. It worked.

    You had a different idea of what constituted ‘important’ at the time, Luann. It’s like the saying, “If you can’t look back on your younger self and see that you were an idiot, it’s only because you’re STILL an idiot.”

    I still have the diary, or more accurately log journal, of a 2.5 month road trip my grandparents took me on in 1972. Went up through the Rockies to Yellowstone, over the AlCan Highway through western Canada and over nearly every highway in Alaska then down the coast to LA and Disneyland and, finally, home. It’s odd what struck a 12 year old boy as being noteworthy.

    why? because you needed to unload. adolescent kids like to talk minutiae and sometimes the only person available to listen is a metal and plastic box (with a rotating tape). Actually it’s great that Luann has these tapes; they could help her understand how she became her present self; writing a humor story based on them ……..if she ever gets around to it……could be very cathartic, a way to purge.

    When did she say it was her dream to be a writer? I recall her saying there was a contest and maybe she could win some money. She flits from interest to interest, there was no big “Luann’s dream is being a writer” storyline.
